Great reminder today, Ash Wednesday. We are still collecting pop tabs. What a great way to think of others and give back to our community. Just another way to show our love for others. https://t.co/6Ob3dLH4NA

Today, Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of the Lenten season. Wishing all who observe today a very blessed and prayerful day and fast. “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” https://t.co/swEvZ95XSL

Wear your pink shirts tomorrow Lightning students and staff. Ash Wednesday is tomorrow - and what a way to show that we cherish God’s love as poured out in the gift of His Son. A great opportunity to acknowledge and to commit to our purpose on earth: to love one another. https://t.co/R8gnt3qBC8

Mardi Gras is a raucous festival that starts on Fat Tuesday and lasts until Ash Wednesday. Here are the strangest things Catholics do to celebrate the holiday. https://t.co/Mpk7wWRknZ

Ash Wednesday is a day when Christians remember their mortality & reliance on God. Many Democrats, & even a few Republicans, will display their ashes today in blasphemy. They claim to honor God, yet advocate for the death of His children through abortion. Pray for our leaders. https://t.co/vsj5pSVWLI

These East Palestine residents I spoke to tell me they’ve headaches, bloody noses, and coughs. They were also unable to receive ashes today for Ash Wednesday for the beginning of Lent since the local church is not holding services due to the toxic environment. https://t.co/kmY2aVGKmn

Today is Ash Wednesday. It’s the start of the Lenten season. My brother @TimShriver sent this to me. This morning, I made Timothy get up to go to a 5:30 am meditation at my church with me this morning, that didn’t even happen (lol, I read last year’s website)… (1/3) https://t.co/MOq4OncMIc

Ash Wednesday in 2023

Ash Wednesday is mainly a Catholic observance in which ashes are marked on the forehead of parishioners in the shape of a cross. The ashes are meant as a reminder of our mortality and sinfulness.
